Betreuung

Court-ordered legal support for adults who cannot manage their own affairs due to illness or disability: the Betreuungsgericht appoints a Betreuer for defined areas such as finances or health. It is not the same as childcare, which is also called Betreuung colloquially. You can largely avoid it by setting up a Vorsorgevollmacht in advance.

In plain German

Ein Gericht bestimmt eine Person, die einem Erwachsenen bei wichtigen Entscheidungen hilft.

What it means

Court-ordered legal support for adults who cannot manage their own affairs due to illness or disability: the Betreuungsgericht appoints a Betreuer for defined areas such as finances or health. It is not the same as childcare, which is also called Betreuung colloquially. You can largely avoid it by setting up a Vorsorgevollmacht in advance.

وصاية قانونية تقررها المحكمة لدعم البالغين العاجزين عن إدارة شؤونهم بسبب مرض أو إعاقة، حيث تعيّن محكمة الوصاية وصيًا لمجالات محددة كالشؤون المالية أو الصحية. لا تخلط بينها وبين رعاية الأطفال التي تسمى أيضًا "Betreuung" في اللغة اليومية. ويمكنك تجنبها غالبًا بإعداد توكيل احترازي "Vorsorgevollmacht" مسبقًا.

As it appears in letters

Das Amtsgericht – Betreuungsgericht – hat für Sie eine Betreuung mit dem Aufgabenkreis Vermögenssorge eingerichtet.
